I seem to have restored response by a manual cleaning of sessionstore.json. Email deletion/advance-to-next has returned to instant, and cursor lag in plain text email composition has disappeared. Here's what I did: 1.shut SM down 2.backup sessionstore.json 3.discover sessionstore.json contains many such strings as this: "owner_b64":" ZT4OTT7kRfqycpfCC8AeuAAAAAAAAAAAwAAAAAAAAEYB3pRy0IA0EdOTmQAQS6D9QJIHOlRteE8wkTq4cYEyCMYAAAAD//////////8BAAAAPWZpbGU6Ly8vc21ibW50L21hemRhL0cvTElCL1NBVC9GcnFDaHJ0cy9sb2NhbGNoYXJ0c3VwcGVyLmh0bWwAAAAAAAAABAAAAAcAAAAAAAAAAP////8AAAAA/////wAAAAD/////AAAABwAAADYAAAAHAAAANgAAAAcAAAAhAAAAKAAAABAAAAA5AAAABAAAAAD/////AAAAB/////8AAAAH/////wEAAAAAAAEAAAABAAAAAAAA","docIdentifier": 4.using sed, insert newlines before each ","docIdentifier": and after each "owner_b64":" 5.manually (using FC/W internal editor), delete every line beginning with ZT40TT7 6.remove all newlines with tr --delete '\n' 7.block twitter.com and facebook.com via hosts 8.restart SM to find no apparent loss in tab count, though tab counter showed ? instead of the actual number until I removed and reinstalled it (81). starting sessionstore.json size: 550599 ending sessionstore.json size: 508903 (92.4% original) sessionstore.json after shutting down the restarted SM: 522803 places.sqlite remains 62914560 now as in last backup. Lots of those ZT40TT7 strings reappeared in the latest sessionstore.json. What are those binary strings in there any good for? -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive." Proverbs 16:21 (New Living Translation) Team OS/2 ** Reg.
